Who were your favorite Bloodborne-looking bosses in Elden Ring? (Spoilers, obviously)

[Saucycarpdog]

We've got a lot of good contenders.

Astel, Naturalborn of the Void

Wormface

Abducter Virgins

Ulcerated Spirit Tree

Malik, The Black Blade

Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy

And of course there's more I could name. Who was your favorite?

 

[EntelechyFuff]

The Godskin buddies definitely gave Bloodborne vibes.

Also that multi-armed screaming centipede fuck that seems to pop up everywhere. I hate that thing.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Astel is so fucking cool. I loved that fight.

 

[EVA UNIT 01]

It's Astel

 

[Ferrs]

Rykard is pure spectracle.

 

[OGlol]

Astel 100%, one of the coolest fights from FS

 

[Kard8p3]

Astel was such a visual treat walking into his room no one else can top him.

It felt good to slap him with the guts sword, so that was nice too.

Wormface literally seemed like he'd just wandered in off the streets of Yarnham, Astel's the most "Bloodborne Boss" tho

 

[jonjonaug]

Astel looks like a boss that was designed for Bloodborne but got cut for being too over the top.

The rest feel like bosses that would fit right in with DS3, or feel like something that's pretty different from both Bloodborne and Souls.

I was playing the game wondering if the thing from the leaked artwork from years ago would show up at some point.

And then the cutscene for Rykard's second phase started and

It was especially mind blowing because I expected it to be a human-sized enemy, or maybe a bit bigger. Not... that.

 

[Kadzork]

Astel 100% - I walked into the arena and my mind was blown.

 

[vixolus]

Astel felt very… out of place. It was cool, but just odd I guess. I mean you find him in the lake of rot after running past a bunch of those rot bug fuckers in some temple area. Cool fight and pretty creepy looking, but not my favorite design.

Rykard is my favorite fight out of this selection though

 

[Chumunga64]

tibia Mariner

 

[Transistor]

The game just came out. This can be discussed in the game's OT (or spoiler thread)
